What does it take to grow a restaurant brand without losing the neighborhood hospitality that made it special? Jack Biebel ofGgiata Delicatessen joinsShawn Walchef at the CREATE conference after Ggiata received the Emerging Brand Award. Bible explains how three childhood friends from New Jersey built a modern Los Angeles deli despite having no restaurant experience, why Ggiata uses technology behind the scenes instead of replacing personal interaction and how the company prioritizes gradual growth over rapid expansion. He also discusses developing leaders, learning from each neighborhood and telling an authentic story that keeps every Ggiata location connected to its community.
Use Technology to Strengthen Hospitality – Ggiata uses technology behind the scenes to reduce administrative work, improve restaurant systems and give managers more time to support employees and connect with customers.
Let Leadership Determine the Pace of Growth – The company is pursuing gradual acceleration instead of rapid expansion. Biebel believes restaurants must develop capable teams and understand each market before adding more locations.
Become Part of the Neighborhood – Ggiata studies every community by walking the surrounding blocks, meeting local businesses and asking residents where they eat. Those relationships help each location feel like a neighborhood deli rather than another unit in a chain.
